Wie schafft ihr es, den Montag erträglicher zu machen?The weekend is nearing its end, tomorrow is Monday – probably the most detested day of the week and sometimes I find myself mourning the upcoming day already on a Sunday afternoon while looking back with nostalgia on the past free days. Those two weekend days seem so much shorter than one whole day of the week. I am absolutely no fan of getting up early in the morning and have always been more of a late riser. I especially savor this on the weekends, staying in bed as long as I can and having my first cup of coffee in my cosy blankets. From Monday on this is not possible anymore. On Mondays getting out of bed seems much harder than the rest of the days, I set four different alarms before being able to get up, drag myself to uni, sit tiredly in the classes and need to organize so much for the new week. But does Monday really have to be this way? For some time now I try my best to change this and achieved to make Monday less horrible than its reputation. Here is a little guideline to my secret.

Get enough rest on the weekend

As I already told you I like to sleep in on Sundays, plan a stress free and chill day and try to go to bed early to narrow the shock of the alarm at 6 on the next morning. I love providing myself with some beauty treatments like a face mask before I go to bed and put clean sheets on the bed for a healthy sleep. This way I feel so fresh when I start into the new week.

Organise yourself a day ahead

Also something that I like to do on a Sunday is making a plan for the upcoming week. I create a to do list with everything that need to be done and finish what I left undone on Friday. This way I make sure that nothing will be forgotten. To me there is nothing worse than starting into the new week with no plan which means total mind chaos – something completely unnecessary on a Monday. This reduces lots of stress.

Do something special on Monday

This way you will even look forward to the start of the week. Go to the gym, meet up with friends for after work drinks, cook something together with you flat mates – you will see how much faster the day goes by when you have something special planned. And there is always reason to celebrate when the first day of the week has been accomplished!

Put some new songs on your playlists

Another trick to make the train ride to uni a little more special than usual is to listen to new music that I haven’t had on my playlists before. I often compare my music with my friends and listen to their music on a Monday morning.

Style yourself

We all know that feeling of wearing a new sweater, high heeled boots or a different kind of hair style. It lights up your mood so I like to follow this on Mondays to make me feel good during the day.

It’s been three weeks since the Blogger Brunch in Hannover but still I decided to show you a little bit more than those impressions I shared on our instagram channel. It was one of the hottest days of the year so far, when many different bloggers from Hannover came together at a café in the northern part of town to connect, talk and spend time together. Among the bloggers were also singer Laura and photographer Lea Rieke (thank you for those amazing photos!) who I bonded a lot with! After a glass of prosecco we sat at a long table and enjoyed a wonderful breakfast. A huge selection of toppings, fruits and fresh buns was waiting for us and provided us – along with a café latte – with lots of energy to get to know each other and discuss some blogger subjects.

Three bloggers named ByEvelina, ItsGoldie and Majolie were the initiators and organisers of the brunch and it’s supposed to bethe first of a series of blogger brunches. As you can see, the whole café was decorated. Although it opened a while ago and I had long planned to go, it was my first visit of the café. This was the perfect opportunity.
